Well said. I own a multi-family dwelling with lots of upgrades on 30 acres, 30 min. south of Ottawa. With heavy equipment I've cleared a trail network, camp sites and dug 3 ponds. There is access to hundreds of hectare of snowmobile and off road trails. And that's where I stall. Without the training and experience to run the business and regulation portion of things I'll never get off the ground. Could do a reality show here with designers building their sites and structures. I would just do private campsite rentals but fear some might not leave and I end up with squatters!
A few things, 1) Wow, that's a lot of work. Is any of it permitted? If not, that would be where I would suggest you start. You want to make sure you haven't disturbed any rainwater patterns. You could engage a local civil engineer to make sure there isn't anything you need to remedy. 2) That same civil engineer can submit the paperwork for you to get your permits. 3) I have plenty of videos on my channel about running a short-term rental business. Stay tuned as I'll produce more content on this topic to help you out!
@@airbnbgirllaura That's sounds horrible. If I need permits to dig a hole on my rural land there is something wrong with the system. This was a farm and it's zoned multi. Canada is getting bad but we're not there yet. I'm told to seek business partners too which is even scarier. Now I'm curious as to the "dark" side of this industry lol
Very informative video, i’m glad I stumbled across your channel. Are you a lawyer? How would you approach finding the right realtor? My primary concern is due to the rural aspect of glamping, where can you find realtors that have the commercial or land expertise in areas where population numbers might be small? Thanks for your time!
The right realtor is going to be someone who's well-connected in the specific location. I would start with commercial or land realtors because they have to know and have relationships with a lot of different people in order to complete those types of real estate transactions. A simple Google search and reviews should get you pretty far. You could also ask realtors you already know for a referral once you're clear about the specific location. I work in federal regulations so even though I'm not a lawyer, I am an expert in the rulemaking and legal process. So I lean on that expertise A LOT in terms of vetting realtors' and local lawmakers advice. Definitely a skill that comes in handy. Good luck!
Not necessarily. Due diligence still applies, for example, what can your land accommodate regarding your infrastructure? Engineering plans still apply. Have you got those in place?
I used to have a fantastic editor but I'm no longer spending my resources on it. In my years on RUclips, I've discovered, it's not the editing that makes the biggest difference, it's clearly talking to a specific avatar, your title, thumbnail and first 30 seconds of the video.

I’m not affiliated, but you should check out Minnect, I didn’t see an expert category for Glamping, perhaps you could get that started?
Thanks for posting!

this whole video is based on the assumption that we don't already own acreage in a low regulation area.

Hi! Do you edit videos yourself or have you hired someone? I’m an editor and would love to discuss it if you’re interested
